THE blue of the sky shows sparsely amid choking 
layers of white cloud that are surmounted by streaks 
of drab and gray. So the light is cold, and shadows 
are spread over the pallid greens and bluer greens of 
the flat meadow below. The latter is dotted with cat- 
tle. Conspicuous among them is a red cow with 
white crest and hindquarters, lying on the right of 
the foreground. Other cows are sprinkled in the — 
middle distance. ‘The meadow is bounded by a belt 
of green trees, showing against a further stretch of 
golden brown, the vista terminating in distant hills.

Canal, the dome of Santa Maria della Salute appear 
ing in the distance as a white vision against the prim- 
rose of the lower sky. Meanwhile, on the right of 
the water, near the front, the facade of the Doge’s

Sansorino’s Library a creamy yellow. ‘The sapphire 

and lapis-lazuli expanse of water is stained in front

from the costumes of the occupants of a gondola that 
is crossing from the right. Further back the swal- 
low-sails and jibs of a fishing-boat are creamy-amber 
with dove-gray shadows, and still further in the dis- 
tance appears a gondola with rosy hood. The upper 
sky shimmers a greenish-blue, streaked with wisps of 
pale yellow and faint, claret-colored vapor.

cord to the stump of a tree. Her golden red hair 
hangs down her back and over each shoulder and 
onto her bosom. The uplifted eyes glisten with tears

in anguish and her hands crossed on her bosom. She

pot of spikenard with which she had anointed Christ 
lies on a rock below the cross.

crimson ribbon that is decorated with gold filigree. 
The cap has a fall of velvet behind the neck, and a 
coil of hair slides over the sloping shoulders. The 
lace border of a chemisette appears above the edge 
of the gold and black damask bodice, which is crossed 
by bands of crimson embroidered with silver. The 
lady’s right arm is placed across her waist, the hand 
holding a crimson carnation.

THE spectator is looking down upon a foreground, 
elevated above a level country that stretches to the 
horizon. Near the centre of the foreground a road 
leads back diagonally, disappearing over a brink, on 
the left of which stands a church. On the right ap- 
pears a pink-tiled structure, one of the outlying 
buildings of a chateau, flanked by two towers with 
pointed roofs. Beyond the rich olive tints of the 
foreground the plain is swept with a broad streak of 
whitish-yellow light. This is succeeded by a hori- | 
zontal strip of dark olive-green, relieved on the left 
by the brighter green of some trees, adjoining a tall 
building like a church. The sky is open and light, but 
over toward the right is streaked diagonally with 
the purple fringe of a heavy rain-cloud, swollen and 
black with storm.

THE figure of a woman'ts*siown-to ih Oak te 


waist, turned three-quarters to the left. As she reads 
from a book held apparently on a table in front of 
her, the head is bowed, so that the eyes are in brown 
shadow. The light strikes on the forehead and nose 
and the upper part of her cheeks, which are of coarse 
ruddy and creamy texture. The light also spreads 
over the top of her tightly fitting cap, which shows a 
rim of brown hair around the forehead, while the ends 
of the cap, at the back of her neck, are shadowed blue. 
She wears a dark golden-brown jacket over a deep 
greenish-blue waist, on which appear a touch of white 
near the throat and another lower down. The left 
hand, resting supine, with the thumb and forefinger 
holding a page of the book, is also brightly lighted, 
but the tips of the thumb and forefinger of the other 
hand are in shadow. Near it shows part of a red 
earthenware pipkin, from which protrudes the white 
handle of a stirrer.

Unner the guidance of Cupid, Psyche is seen cross- 
ing the river that leads to the grove, where she is to 
collect the golden fleeces. Waist deep in the dark 
greenish-blue water, she extends her hands above her 
head, while Cupid holds the blue drapery that swirls 
about her dove-gray robe. She is nearing the oppo- 
site bank, where a herd of goats is lying or cropping 
the rich green herbage, while a satyr and a shepherd 
with pan-pipes sit side by side under the shadow of a 
steep bank. Bluish-green and yellowish-brown foli- 
age clusters about its base, and its top is crowned with 
trees of similarly colored leafage. Seen on the left 
of this luxuriant mass is a level plain, basking in 
ereamy sunshine, through which a river winds back 
to distant mountains, whose gray and milky hues 
show softly against a warm, creamy sky that grows 
to faint blue at the zenith. On each side of the river 
appear the ruins of a temple, while in the middle dis- 


tance on the left is an imposing architectural group, 
including an entablature, supported on columns, a 
phyramidal structure and a round tower. These are 
visible beneath the handsome foliage of a clump of 
trees on the left of the foreground and of two others 
that stand a little further to the right.

LE PARC DES MOUTONS

ROUND moon, showing orange-red’ in the evening 
mist, hangs low in the right of the sky. Beneath it 
appears the entrance to the sheepfold, formed of a 
passageway of hurdles. ‘Through the bars appear 
several sheep, while the shepherd, with his staff under 
his right arm and a black dog sitting at his feet, 
counts the rest of the flock, as it is driven in from the 
left by another black dog. The moonlight glistens 
on the faces of the sheep, and lights their fleeces with 
intermittent gleams. In the middle distance, on the 
left, a building nestles under a wooded slope that 
drowses in shadow beneath the expanse of greenish- 
blue sky, where a few stars twinkle. 

This picture and the following one, “Early Morning,” were pur- 
chased at the sale of the effects of the widow of the artist after her 
death. Mr. Dwight W. Tryon, the well-known landscape painter, a 
few weeks before Daubigny’s death, which occurred on February 19, 
1878, visited his studio and saw these two large pictures on the easels. 
Mr. Tryon, in speaking of his visit, says: “Both were noble. examples 


of his work and made a deep impression upon me. I told him they 
seemed an advance over all his previous pictures. He seemed much 


pleased and said he hoped as much, adding, ‘They are for my family. 
I asked if they were not for sale and he replied, ‘They are both too 
large and too bold to find a purchaser; all my best work remains with 
me and are pour la famille.”

EARLY MORNING 


f SOE Height, 58 ynches; length, 951, inches. 4 l, a 


SHapow still lingers o e level expanse of the q 


open country. But the gray sky already palpitates 
with a faint light and a pale rosy suffusion permeates 
the horizon, showing brightest around a church spire 
on the distant right. In the foreground on the left 
a cock has mounted a manure heap to welcome the 
coming day, while his hens are scratching for food, 
and a white one sits surrounded by her brood of 
chickens. The heap adjoins the wall and slanting 
roof of what appears to be a chicken-house that closes 


in the composition on the left. In the silence and 
dimness a man and a woman are hastening to the 
day’s work, their figures being seen back to us on the 
right of the foreground. ‘The man, clad in a felt hat, 
yellowish drab waistcoat and brown trousers, over 
which hangs a knife in a leather sling, carries a scythe | 
on his shoulder, while the woman similarly bears a 
rake and pitchfork. _She wears a drab jacket over a 
brown skirt, and her red bonnet shows against the 
rosy glow of the sky. Near where they are walking 
is a patch of cold, vividly green grass.

heavy scythe. His figure is back to us, clad in a 
shirt, dark-blue trousers and a yellow straw hat that 
catches the light. From his waist depends a hanger, 
holding a whetstone. Meanwhile his companion is 
sharpening his scythe. He is seated at the left on a 
bank which borders the hollow, running back at right 
angles to the front. ‘The slight eminence is crowned 
by a fine-timbered oak, through the branches and 
foliage of which gleams the sun, focused to a blur by 
mist. Four smaller trees grow farther back along 
the bank. They spread their leafage against a misty 
gray sky that shows occasional peeps of blue and is 
veiled in places with shreds of pale wine-colored 
vapor. In the middle distance, on the right, appears 
a glimpse of a river, while across the scene stretches 
horizontally a strip of flat meadow-lands, tufted fre- 
quently with the round gray-green clumps of willows. 
Some small white buildings, brightly illuminated, 


show against the centre of the horizon.
